Wilderness & Wildlife:

Outdoor adventure is just moments away in the Comox Valley. The cool stillness of the rainforest, alpine meadows, craggy peaks and protected coastal waters provide an ideal setting for a variety of wilderness experiences and tours.

Tour options include viewing the Comox Valley by helicopter, boat, kayak, mountain bike, horse back or foot. Go bird watching, observe killer whales or take a trip to the Mainland to see grizzly bears. Enjoy the incredible views of the Georgia Straight from the alpine heights. Contact local guides for adventures to the Comox Glacier, Beaufort Range or Strathcona Park high alpine. Group and private tours are available and many operators offer service in German and French.

You don't have to go far to see wildlife in the Comox Valley. Deer are frequent visitors to gardens, yards and golf courses and black bears are seen spring through fall munching on wild fruit and berries and devouring the remains of spawning salmon.

The Comox Valley wilderness is also home to stealth and secretive cougars and wolves and the adjacent ocean waters support a healthy population of seals and sea lions. Bald eagles, herons, hawks and countless song and marine birds inhabit or visit the Valley's marshes, fields, forests and waterways.

Always remember to keep healthy distance between yourself and wild animals - for the well being of both!
